Hi Sergey,

thanks for your suggestions. I hope you will find GEF as useful as we alldo.

As you surely know, this is an open source project. That means, that thepeople involved work for it mostly in their spare time. The great advantageis, that anyone is invited to participate. Although the project has somekind of role concept, we don't want to exclude anyone. This is just formaking sure that the quality of contributed code meets the expectations ofthe project.

So, when there are issues that you want to have fixed, why don't you do ityourself? Your message looked to me as if you have been digging in deep tofind out the reasons for your problem. Just make code out of it and send itto one of the developers (me for example) and you will see it ending up inthe CVS. Once you have contributed some patches, you will get developerrole. This will give you write permission to the CVS, so that you don'tdepend on others any longer.
